The Ghosts of Varner Creek by Michael Weems

In the summer of 1909, Solomon Mayfield awoke to find his mother and
sister had disappeared. Left with his alcoholic and abusive father, Sol
lived his life believing the story he'd been told, the story all the
people of Varner Creek believed about what happened that summer. But in
a plot of twists and family secrets that will leave the reader reaching
for their jaw upon the floor, Sol is taken back to his childhood by the
spirits he knew in life when he passes away so many years later . . .
it is only then he learns what secrets The Ghosts of Varner Creek have
been keeping so many years.

Very engaging book. As I slowly found out what had happened it really bothered me, which usually doesn't happen with books. I really loved the way Sol ended up finding out the truth; it was very original. Very well written, keeps you reading long into the night. Looking forward to more by this author.
